The Victorinox 74mm series is not that well known today, but has a long history. It consists of larger versions of some of the popular 58mm series of knives, and also uses the clever design patented by Carl Elsener in 1952, which features the double sided tool configuration and 'floating' springs. Some models have unique tools, available only in this series.

There are also 'luxury' models that hark back to the earlier days of the gentleman's knife, in the 74mm frame size, and also some that use a 75mm frame with 'regular' backsprings.
